Crockpot Herbed Turkey Breast Roast
5 pounds
turkey breast, boned
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, minced
salt and pepper
2 ounces sliced Fontina cheese
2 ounces sliced prosciutto
4 sprigs parsley or thyme
2/3 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
Rinse turkey, pat dry and place, skin down, on cutting board. Sprinkle meat side
with chopped parsley and thyme, season with
salt and pepper.
Cover with cheese and prosciutto, overlapping slices. Starting
with a long edge, roll up turkey, firmly, jelly
roll style. Overlap 3-4 sprigs parsley or thyme down length of roll, tie roll
securely with string at 2" intervals. (at this point
you may cover and refrigerate until next day)
Place turkey, thyme side up, in
slow cooker. Pour in broth and wine. Cover and
cook until meat in thickest part is very tender when pierced (9-10 hrs).
Carefully lift turkey to a warm platter and keep warm. Skim and discard fat from
cooking liquid, blend in cornstarch (blended with water).
Increase cooker to HIGH, cover and cook, stirring 2 or 3 times, until sauce is
thickened. Remove and discard strings and thyme sprigs from turkey, slice meat
1/4" thick. Garnish with additional thyme sprigs, if desired. Serve with sauce.
